Ways to Heal Fibromyalgia
If you have an ache in your lower back, the neck, the back of the head and the shoulders, with no known injury, you may have an illness called Fibromyalgia. Inflammation and poor circulation are the principle causes of the excruciating muscular pain experienced by those with the condition. Many consider herbal remedies to be a viable way to treat the symptoms. Herbs Burdock root, Dandelion, Astragalus, Wintergreen oil, Echinacea, Red clover, Cayenne. are all very useful for the fibromyalgia sufferers. Try a tea of dandelion, burdock root and red clover. This will enhance your body's immunity and clean out your bloodstream. For the best results, drink between 4 and 6 cups a day. Alternatively, you can also take 1 tbsp. of dandelion juice twice a day. Alternatively, you could apply a mixture of 1 part cayenne and 3 parts wintergreen oil topically. Cayenne contains capsaicin, a chemical that inhibits pain-causing neurotransmitters. Pick up some echinacea and astragalus to aid with immune system function. Remove parasites within the body with black walnut leaves or nuts. Favor ginger over aspirin for pain. Ginger is sold in 1,000 to 2,000 milligram capsules at health food stores across the country as well as on the Internet. You can also take ginger in tea form by taking 1 tsp. of ground ginger root and steeping it in 8 ounces of boiling water for 10 minutes. Use calendula to help reverse the effects of fibromyalgia. Many alternative medicine practitioners recommend that fibromyalgia sufferers take calendula in high doses on a daily basis. To ensure quality, buy your herbs from your local health food store or a trusted organic grower. Herbs bought in-store may be slightly less expensive than those bought from a grower, due to the quality of specially-harvested herbs. You shouldn't replace the care of a physician with herbal remedies, especially when you're experiencing potentially life-threatening symptoms. Any time you experience serious symptoms, contact your doctor immediately. If you have difficulty breathing, heart problems or severe pain, you should stop the fibromyalgia herbs and contract your doctor as soon as possible. If you start vomiting blood which means your life is in danger, you should go to the nearest hospital immediately.
